Tying in with some of our coverage of “The Grandstand Franchise” video in the last week is this aerial photo of Green Bay’s East High School and its football field — the former home of the Packers. Known as “City Stadium,” all the teams of the N.F.L. at that time (1925-1956) played here. It was surrounded by wooden bleachers that have long-since been torn down, but the field is in the same location now as it was then. If you’re in town, stop by and take a look. In recent years, they’re re-constructed the decorative gates and noted the historical significance with signs and markers.
